Overview

The Garmin 010-12507-01 is a set of two bail-mount knobs used to secure a compatible Garmin fixed-mount VHF radio in its bail-mount bracket. They replace missing or worn knobs and restore the hand-tight clamping that keeps the radio from shifting when the boat is vibrating or taking a pounding.

These knobs are for bail-mount installations where the radio sits in a U-shaped bracket and the side knobs lock the viewing angle. The bail-mount bracket itself is not included.

Key features

• Set of two knobs for the left and right sides of a bail-mounted VHF radio
• Made to be used with a bail-mount bracket (bracket sold separately)
• Hand-tighten to hold the radio angle once it is positioned in the bracket
• Useful as replacement hardware during a helm refit or when a knob has gone missing

Compatibility and fit

Used on Garmin VHF radios that use the bail-mount bracket system, including VHF 110, VHF 110i, VHF 115, VHF 210, VHF 210i, VHF 210 AIS, VHF 215, and VHF 215 AIS models. If you are replacing existing hardware, compare the knob style and the side attachment points on your radio and bracket to confirm the match.

Installation and setup

With the radio sitting in the bail-mount bracket, install one knob on each side and tighten by hand until the unit is held firmly at the desired angle. After the first few runs, re-check the knobs and snug them again if the bracket has settled on the mounting surface.

What’s included

• Two bail-mount knobs

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt and grime off the knobs during routine washdowns, especially around the threads and contact surfaces. If the helm is frequently wet or exposed, a quick check for tightness as part of pre-departure prep helps keep the radio from loosening over time.
